I've reached the point of constantly stress eating, so I stocked up on lots of healthy food: grapes, carrots, whole grain seedy crackers, hummus, plain greek yogurt. As a result, I've been eating all day but I wanted something different to say "dinner."

With all that preamble, I'm having a green salad with goat cheese, good olive oil, sea salt with edible flowers and a nice glass of Cabernet.

America's Test Kitchen (ATK) often recommends a small amount of tomato paste in saute dishes like Stroganoff to help build flavor and fond for the sauce. You can buy it in squeezy tubes like toothpaste. Tomato adds flavor in small amounts without making the dish taste like tomatoes.

So, Monday was beef Stroganoff with egg noodles and potato rolls.Tuesday was tilapia with wilted spinach and blueberries for dessert. Tonight is cheesesteak subs with tater tots.

This afternoon I met up for lunch with a friend who loves food as much I do. We went to a Vietnamese place and split two types of salad rolls and stir fried tofu and veggies over noodles with lemongrass garlic sauce.

Today was errands day, including a major grocery restocking. When I got home I had 8lbs of stew meat/fajita slices to cut up and portion out, 3 pkg of chicken to repack/portion and a big pork butt roast to quarter, marinade and freeze.

Since I didn't really feel like doing all that and still cook, I threw a frozen lasagna in the oven. Though I was good and made a caprese salad to go along with it. And by the time I was done prepping the meat, the lasagna had just enough time left to throw a pie in. So I grabbed the blueberries and a frozen pie crust.

So we ended up with Lasagna, caprese salad, garlic bread and blueberry pie for dessert. I just wish I still had some lemon zest for the pie. I used my lemons yesterday

In the United States today, there is a pervasive tendency to treat children as adults, and adults as children. The options of children are thus steadily expanded, while those of adults are progressively constricted. The result is unruly children and childish adults. ~Thomas Szasz
